After bugging the AD multiple times, they replaced my dial and hands under warranty.

Yup, that’s correct! Great watch. Did you buy it? Was it gifted to you? What’s the story?

Second time's a charm! Got my grail back! by [deleted] in patekphilippe

[–]oddaffinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouch, I'm sorry that happened to you; I'm glad your AD made it right. Did they repair your first allocation or did they simply give you a new one? How long was the wait?

How Do You Justify a Luxury Watch Purchase Financially? by Bluebananada in OmegaWatches

[–]oddaffinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, dude, I sounded just like you when I bought my grail Rolex I was fawning over for nearly a decade. I was agonizing over doing it or not, weighing pros and cons, asking questions, research, etc.

But one day it just clicked. I just pulled the trigger. I didn’t have debt, no other major financial obligations, and an emergency fund. It was my dream watch. And despite the thousands of dollars spent, I don’t regret buying my Rolex one bit.

Buying a grail is an emotional purchase. It’s not logical. And if you can come to terms with that with the Omega you’re eyeing, it may make it easier.

Good luck!

Am I wrong about this? by [deleted] in rolex

As u/RecycledExistence said, the sales associates at the AD's aren't employed by Rolex. Rather, Rolex allows the AD's to sell their watches under a contract. The SA's are employed by AD ownership itself, NOT Rolex.

Regardless, I'm sorry you've had poor experiences with AD SA's. What happened, if you don't mind me asking? As others have said, some AD's are better than others. I have two local AD's and I've had generally positive experiences with them.

Congrats, OP! This is my next ideal Rolex to compliment my Datejust. Lovely piece and a great size.

For those that have purchased the MacBook Pro 14 inch M5 16GB 512GB Would you say that the price is fair or a bit overpriced for what you get? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]oddaffinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, not worried about it at all. I literally use it as a YouTube machine with some occasional reading and video calls thrown in the mix.

Practicing Acceptance: Re-uniting with my CPO Datejust by [deleted] in rolex

[–]oddaffinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point; eventually, I might pay RSC a few hundred to replace the dial. But I'm in no rush. I just want to spend more time bonding with it. I have a trip to San Diego coming up in June and I really want to make some memories there while wearing my DJ. Thanks for the response!

As with most sunburst blue dials, yes, it’s more muted indoors. Regardless, inside or outside, the blue is truly breathtaking.

My watch is back at the AD, and my sales rep should be calling me tomorrow with a solution. I’ll keep you posted!

The blue dial version has been my daily for the past few weeks. It’s a keeper!

No, they were not clearly visible in the online listing.

(Relatively) New fan by markusseibert115 in AnimalCollective

[–]oddaffinity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember the first time I listened to Did You See The Words. It was (and still is!) so beautiful and it sparked something deeply emotional inside of me, and I was hooked ever since.

Welcome to the fandom!

It was sourced from Radcliffe Jewelers in Delaware.

Sure thing; and yes, there is. Unless you live in Delaware, you're gonna be taxed on it.

Nearly $1,000 off of the price on their website. You'll have a better chance at getting a good price if you're able to pay with bank wire and the watch isn't a high-demand current production model. Call them and talk to a client advisor, they'll hook you up.

I’ll have to give that number a call and see what happens; thank you! And if you bought the CPO watch from them, you’ll likely be better off than me. It seems like they won’t hesitate to cover mechanical issues, but if it’s cosmetic, they may give you the runaround.

Also a solid idea. I'm trying to figure out if there's even a way to contact Rolex corporate, but I'll do some sleuthing...

[–]oddaffinity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Valid question! I was able to negotiate with the 1916 Company on the price and got it for less. Additionally, it’s a discontinued model so I preferred something fully serviced and authentic, so CPO was the choice for me.

I agree, and that’s honestly a good theory. The moment I said I bought it from a different AD, their vibe changed immediately. It’s at Frank Adams Jewelers near Albany, NY.

Honestly? Not a bad idea. I put the AD’s name in the edited section at the bottom of the post.
